While
processing the above stream in 2 tbsp EVOO. If you need more liquid or
would like to make a more creamy texture, simply add cold water, 1 tbsp
at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

I
altered some ingredient portions this time for my kids (they say it is
too 'spicy' when I use a lot of Garlic and less Lemon juice). They
loved it this time.

Side
note: This is a great dish to have the kids help you with. They can
rinse the beans, squeeze the lemon wedges and pour the ingredients into
the food processor. And once everything is in they can push the
buttons; this is a real thrill for a 4 or 2 year old, believe me! I
keep reading that kids are more apt to try new foods if they are
involved with the preparation, and right now they love to 'help', so I
try to involve them whenever possible.

Spicy Shrimp Recipe:

This was taken directly from Alamelu's Spice Rubbed Seared Fish Recipe:

The Shrimp I used tonight was already cooked, peeled, without tails (I was going the easy route :)) So I threw the thawed Shrimp into a super hot pan with Canola Oil and seared for a minute or two and then added the mixed Indian Spice Blend to the Shrimp, cooked for a few minutes and threw them right into the Soft Corn Tacos!

About Me

Over the last ten years I have lost over 40 pounds in a slow moving, but ongoing quest to be more healthy, more energized, and yes, reduce my size. Lots of friends noticed and asked me how I did it. This blog will attempt to provide some easy hands-on ideas, recipes, and tips to answer the question: “How have you lost so much weight?” This is not a diet! Just some ideas and recipes that have helped me shed some weight while making healthier food choices. Hopefully this blog will share information with other people who are like me (normal!) in hopes to help them live a longer, healthier, more energized, and possibly thinner, happier life. I have no real credentials. I am not a nutritionist, just a normal woman trying to live her life the best way she can!
